It's done on the balance of probabilities, Madam Freeman. It's not something they'd have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the ultimate test of whether an individual is guilty of a criminal offence. The same tests that basically apply now to other reverse onus sections--and there are a number in the Criminal Code at the present time--would apply in this particular case. It's always open to that individual to make the case that they should be released.
We've come a long way in this area, and I've supported the changes over the years. I think Mr. Murphy indicated what a major step forward it was with the introduction of the Bail Reform Act in this country, but there have been a number of modifications, and we've had opportunities to have a look at the way it works. I see this as part of that process in which we are massaging, if you will, the Criminal Code, particularly now with respect to its provisions on bail. I think this is a step forward. It's not changing the test in any way that applies.
